Stealing and robbing are usually motivated by the desire to get money. However, a man in Florida left police stunned when he revealed the reason behind two of his robberies. The Florida man who was arrested after police linked him to two recent robberies told police officers he committed the crimes because he was “bored” and has an “impulse problem.”
According to WFLANicolas Zapater-Lamadrid, 45, robbed a TD bank in Orlando and a Circle K gas station two days in a row. In both robberies, the suspect was spotted wearing a black cap marked “police” and sunglasses.
At around 9:30 a.m. on Dec. 5, detectives responded to TD Bank, where a bank teller reportedly got a note with the words “Assault” and “Money” typed on it. The suspect fled on foot after collecting the money.
The second crime was committed two days later, on December 7, at around 7:00 p.m. at the Circle K on the 2700 block of South Fern Creek Avenue. The suspect handed the clerk a typed note that read, “Give me all the cash and a pack of 305’s 100’s please.”
According to police, Zapater-Lamadrid kept his hands in his pockets during the robbery, suggesting he was carrying a weapon. When officers arrived on the scene about two minutes later, they said Zapater-Lamadrid was standing outside the store with the stolen cash and cigarettes.
After his arrest, he made a full confession to Orlando police, saying he committed the crime because he was “bored.”
In a similar freak incident reported last month, a 42-year-old man in Michigan ordered an Uber to rob a bank and asked the driver to wait outside while he held up the case. Southfield police said Jason Christmas took an Uber to the bank and told the driver to wait while he went in and robbed the bank. The officials stated that the driver was unaware of Mr. Christmas’s plans
